I just got this clip from our etnies Surf TM. And apparently we hook this guy up with some gear here and there. Now, I know what you're thinking... skimboarding? That's not surfing. Right... just watch how sick this guy is and then tell me he's not surfing.
This is etnies skimmer Paulo Prietto from Dana Point, Ca. and he's the best in the biz! Paulo is rad! And this clip is baffling!

Nice to see Etnies dipping their toes into skimboarding. Its an awesome sport that is almost completely unsupported by the major "surf" brands. Get him up on the team page!

Wow it's pretty epic to see Etnies support skimboarding. Skimboarders really support companies that support their sport. You should hook up more events.

to do with mainstream!

Amazing. Great to see Etnies supporting that sport.

So sick. Paulo kills it and definitely deserves respect from big companies like Etnies, he works his ass off for the sport of skimboarding.
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
It's sick to see Etnies branching out and support skimboarding. Let's hope there's more of this to come.. Congrats, Paulo!
Posted: 4 years ago, Link

Great job to Paulo for getting on the team and it's sick that etnies is supporting skimboarding.
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
Paulo is the best skimboarder by far.. the guy rips. I would be super stoked to see Etnies pick him up and help promote skimboarding!!

Posted: 4 years ago, Link
Ooooooooooooh yeah !!!
Go Paulo go !!!

Paulo likes things that are hollow.
Paulo pulls in to things that are hollow.
sometimes Paulo doesnt come out of the hollow things.
Paulo doesnt care.
he just does it again and again.
Nice moves Paulo!
Thank you Etnies for hooking a great skimboarder and great person up.

Awsome to see skimboarding getting more respect. Growing more and more each year. Paulo is a beast and keeps steppin up. Congrats paulo!
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
geaaaaaaa, paulo
and that is not surfing.
good to see one of the guys who puts the majority of his time into promoting skimboarding getting respect from big companies for doing it
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
I just want to say mike hunt is dumb. Its all about the sport growing and getting a larger skim x community sand now he's setting the bar out there so congratas paulo and rifght on etnies!

Paulo
Your friends, family & the skim community are so proud of you for being an ambassador to our sport.
Skimming is a spectator sport.
Back a guy like Paulo and you can't go wrong
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
This is awesome, Paulo is an amazing person and a damn good skimmer too. Etnies would be doing something great for the sport and for a leading athlete by picking up paulo fully and the pay back would be the loyalty of a growing but tight knit skimboard community
great work
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
I think I'll go buy some etnies today.
Paulo is sick!!!
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
i'm a surfer. skimboarding is so hard to get that good at. i've seen other companies get into skimming and they always get what they give right back, good community
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
way 2 go ethnies and congrats 2 paulo
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
Yeah!!! Paulo roxxx...
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
"sick" doesn't begin to explain this footage. if you've ever been kept under one of the waves he's riding you'd be "sick" to tell about it. I for one have and have healthy fear for the experience.. Ride on.
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
Paulo is the man and it's cool to see skimboarding evolve. Etnies should make a skim team.
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
hah!!!.. go etnies.. go paulo!! support skimboarding!!.. support nature!! i agree on Jon.. etnies should have a skim team.. good call Jon
Posted: 4 years ago, Link

Paulo's a real talent and a class act. Good to see you guys supporting him. One of my favorite athletes to photograph when I lived in OC.
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
skimming has been put on the back burner for tooo long! for it to be finally brought to the fore is a beautiful thing. etnies, nice work...paulo, even nicer!
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
Sick. Paulo is such a nice guy and a good person to represent your company. Im glad you guys picked him up, he wont disappoint you.
Posted: 4 years ago, Link

fuckin sikk!!! Paulo, one of the best skimmers I've ever seen...good move Etnies...
Posted: 4 years ago, Link
hey i was wondering if you would sponsor me for inland skimboarding???
Posted: 3 years ago, Link
Paulo's sick, a tremendous athlete. It's so cool to see a mainstream label do anything involved w/ skimboarding. The fact is, it's about time really, because skimboarding is inredibly physically-demanding sport. Generally, most good skimboarders also surf or skate, but most surfers and skaters aren't skimboarding. It's such an amazingly progressive sport, it's baffling that it has pretty much been ignored by mainstream brands and sponsorships.
It's about time! Go paulo!

I think it's sick that etnies is beggining to get involved with skimboarding. skimboarding is a growing sport for sure. I definitely hope to see etnies sponsoring events and contest.
Posted: 3 years ago, Link
paulo is good
skim is more flexible than any other boarding system
shovits, airs, barrels, flatland, towing and plus

so sick, way to go paulo and etnies, skimmers are very loyal to the companies that are trying to help the sport they love. i will definitly buy a pair of etnies for my next shoe!
Posted: 3 years ago, Link
Yeah paulo is good, but if youre looking for the best in the biz, you should keep youre eye on bill bryan. Or maybe the up and coming brad domke
